Pretty sure at the start of the season a UCD fan was saying he looked very good and they would struggle to hold into him. You seem to think if we sign some players from UCD we are screwed but if you actually look around the league they have had some of the top players that have gone on to win leagues and cups.Quote:

I would imagine we will be looking at a blend of experience and youth. Our budget certainly wouldn't be big enough to be filling our team with experience.Quote:

Completely unrealistic to expect us to compete with any of the top 4 we can't financially so we won't on the pitch unless Russell is brilliant.Quote:

As it happens i was checking something out yesterday and noticed this UCD team from 2008 (they were relegated in 2009). Bear in mind Ronan Finn was a member of the UCD this season as wellQuote:

Look at their bench that day FFS. If they could hold onto their players they could win leagues.
I suppose its hard for the small clubs to hold onto their good players when the big clubs come knocking.i have been supporting ipswich town since the 80's and its happened a lot with them too.
I think pineapple stu was saying that the kid more or less did a runner on UCD and turned up playing for Trinity in a colleges game. Never told anyone he'd changed colleges.Quote:

How much has Limerick's budget been reduced by for next year?
On one hand we are hearing Pat has completely pulled his money from the first team squad but on the other we are hearing the club are talking to some very good players and have 7 or 8 of last seasons squad signed back up already so its hard to know if the budget has moved at all at this stage.Quote:

Cillian Morrison and Shaun Patton sign for Derry from Cork and Finn Harps.

I'd see him as a squad player.
Billy Dennehy and Liam Kearney are literally our only wide players. If hes fit and works hard in pre season Right Wing is his for the taking.
Also.. hes 23, its not like hes over the hill
He might not be, but his liver certainly is:pQuote:

Really? Webby is a great lad and a decent defender, he should become a better player playing and training with better players all the time but has a very bad habit of picking up the odd red card. The only thing i would say is that i don't think he is any better that what you have had over the past few years, defo not a step up. All the best to him though, top bloke and hope it works out well for him.Quote:

There was some speculation that Stephen Kenny was talking to Webster and was interested in signing him, presumably as cover for right back and centre back.
He is probably a decent squad player - if he were at Dundalk I would be surprised if he displaced Gannon, Gartland or Boyle. Perhaps Rovers would provide more first team chances for him

Heard from webster himself that he was more than likely off to rovers . had a offer on the table by end of season . as for dundalk they will more than likely get jake kelly from bray
Are you sure that was football manager or any other football sim for that matter? If only Zurich bank and ground sales were one big game for somone at Bohs.Quote:

Forrester

10 of our starting 11 from the Cup final have signed back. Not looking too bad for us.
Forrester is looking unlikely to make his mark in England at this stage. Given the hype that surrounded him for the last few years, I expected him to progress.
He's only 21 for god's sake. He hasn't kicked on as expected but not everybody matures at the same rate. Still plenty of time for him to fill his frame.
Yeah he's a bit like Finn, looked certain to go over at one stage and hasn't worked out yet, he turns 22 in a few weeks so he'll probably get 1 or 2 more chances to go across.Quote:

Of course this is all just a mad fantasy
So Pats have now retained 9 players who were in the first 11 in both the league and cup winning seasons. Winning becomes a habit.
Webster will prove to be a good signing for ye Charlie, matured in to a better player for us with the captaincy and his experience, can play centre back or right full which gives Pat options where to play him, got a sweet strike in him also! Best of Luck to him, Massey and Shields improved when they moved to Dundalk so will Dave Webster with Rovers.Quote:
